2002 Honda Accord Airbags Problems

Your car was in a front-end collision, but the airbags failed to deploy even though Honda's records show a recall repair was completed before the accident. This is a serious safety concern that should be investigated immediately to determine why the airbags didn't function as intended.

Your driver's side airbag warning light stays on while you're driving. This means your airbag system may not work properly in a crash. You should have a mechanic diagnose why the light is on and repair the issue before relying on your airbag for safety. The fix will likely involve checking the airbag system with diagnostic equipment and replacing any faulty sensors or wiring.

During a highway accident where your 2002 Accord flipped, the driver's side airbags failed to deploy even though you had repeatedly brought the car to a dealer for airbag recall repairs. You suffered serious injuries to your head and body that left you bedridden for over two months. The airbag system may need inspection to determine why it didn't function properly despite previous recall service attempts.

Your car's airbags did not deploy during an accident, leaving you injured. You've had ongoing issues with recall repairs that you say weren't completed properly and caused additional damage to your vehicle. The airbag system may need inspection and possible replacement to ensure it functions correctly in a future collision.

Your airbag failed to deploy properly during a car accident. This is a serious safety defect that should be inspected immediately by a professional, as airbags are a critical safety feature designed to protect you during a crash.

Your 2002 Honda Accord's airbags failed to deploy during a serious crash at 70 MPH into a guard rail and median barrier, even though both you and your passenger sustained significant injuries (bulging disc and broken neck). Your vehicle had been previously serviced for both driver and passenger airbags before this incident. The airbag system may need complete diagnostic testing and component replacement to ensure proper function.

WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHERE A LATTER FLEW OUT OF THE BACK OF A GUYS TRUCK AND BECAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I HIT HIM WHEN I COULDN'T STOP FAST ENOUGH AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS BERRYBRUISED UP AND I DID GO TO THE HOSTPITAL.

I WAS IN A BAD CAR ACCIDENT WAS ON SATURDAY, 11/02/2019, WHERE BOTH CARS WERE TOTALED. I WAS A STOPLIGHT ON A CITY STREET (GLENWOOD DR) WAITING TO TURN LEFT. AS I PROCEED TO TURN LEFT ON A GREEN ARROW (GOING APPROX 5 MILE/HR) I WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING (PER THE OTHER DRIVER'S STATEMENT) APPROXIMATELY 37-40 MILE/HR AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. A LARGE PART OF THE IMPACT WAS ABSORBED BY THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN TRAVEL TO THE PASSENGER DOOR. MY AIRBAGS HAD BEEN RECALLED THIS SUMMER AN TAKEN TO HONDA OF CONYERS WHERE THEY WERE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT. I WAS THE DRIVER AND MY 14-YEAR OLD NIECE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY NIECE DIDN'T SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES; HOWEVER, I HAVE SOME SPINAL INJURY AND WAS SEEN BY THE EMORY ORTHOPEDIC AND SPINE CENTER WHERE THEY THEN ASSIGNED A TREATMENT PROGRAM WHERE I AM TO RECEIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY 2 X PER WEEK FOR 4 WEEKS ( THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE, MANUAL THERAPY, STRETCHING, PARASPINAL STRENGTHENING, MODALITIES PRN, AND C-TRACTION.) I'VE ATTACHED 3 PHOTOS OF MY VEHICLE.

SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON , INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE TAKATA BAGS I DECIDE TO INVESTIGATE.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CURRY HONDA OF GEORGIA IN ATLANTA ON 7/8/2019. THE RECALL WAS SATISFIED AND NOT REPORTED

TAKATA RECALL- I HAD THE 1ST RECALL REPAIRED ON MY HONDA A FEW YEARS AGO BUT IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS THE SRS LIGHT AND SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WERE BOTH ON AND MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS PARTIALLY INFLATED UNDER THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THESE LIGHTS ARE ON DUE TO A FAULTY SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF....FOR NOW, BUT THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD PROBABLY COME BACK ON AFTER DRIVING IT A WHILE. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER, THE SRS LIGHT AND SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ARE BACK ON AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL- I PURCHASED A USED 2002 HONDA ACCORD TODAY, 7/31/2019. WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED THE CAR, I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LOOKS TO BE PARTIALLY INFLATED UNDER THE DASH. THE AIRBAG IS NOT DEPLOYED BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE OVER TIME IT HAS INFLATED UNDER THE DASH. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 6 RECALLS RELATED TO AIRBAG MODULES IN THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE, YET FOR SOME REASON THIS WEBSITE SAYS MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS AIRBAG ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE, IF I WERE TO EVER WRECK, I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF A FAULTY RECALLED AIRBAG MODULE THAT WAS JUST SKIPPED OVER.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL

SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS. WE GET RECALL NOTICES BUT THE VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. THE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON WHEN DRIVING. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. BUT, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS RECENTLY COME ON WHEN DRIVING.

I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF WE HAVE TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. MY HUSBAND HAS CONTACTED AND GONE TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT AIRBAGS WE HAVE, AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING HIM THAT THEY ARE OKAY. I HAVE TRIED TO ENTER THE VIN NUMBER THROUGH THE AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT.COM WEBSITE POWERED BY NHTSA, AND IT WILL NOT GO THROUGH.

WHEN DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT POPS ON ALONG WITH THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT. WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP AND ATTEMPT TO PROCEED THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT THE CAR SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO GET GAS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

TAKATA RECALL-MY SRS LIGHT IS ON FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $300 UP FRONT TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. THE LOCAL GARAGE WHERE I HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED SAID THIS WAS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL BUT HONDA WON'T CHECK IT WITHOUT $300 UP FRONT AND I JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT. MAYBE I WILL FINALLY GET IT FIXED UNDER THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EVERYTHING ON MY CAR WORKING PROPERLY.

I MOVED FROM ARIZONA TO FLORIDA. I HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT. THREE DAYS AGO I SAW THE SRS (SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON IN MY CAR. BECAUSE THE RECALL IS GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR. IT JUST TURNED ON. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE I HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE. I CAN'T IMAGE WHY THEY WON'T ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAGS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR, IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 08/20/2017 AT FRONT SIDE OF MY CAR MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OPEN BUT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DIDN'T OPEN . AT TRAFFIC LIGHT I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND FORD TRUCK CAME AND HIT MY CAR. I HAD 360 DEGREE SPIN ON MY CAR. DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACE IN JANUARY 2015 BY HONDA. MY INSURANCE COMPANY MADE MY CAR TOTAL LOSS.

TAKATA RECALL- MY GRANDMOTHER WAS INJURED WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED IN A LOW IMPACT CAR ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF QUICKTRIP AND WAS HIT BY SOMEONE SPEEDING DOWN THE TURN LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AS A RESULT IN THE AIRBAG EXPLODED AND WAS SO FORCEFUL IT BROKE HER STERNUM, 2 RIBS AND COLLAPSED HER LUNG.

TAKATA RECALL. OUR HONDA ACCORD IS JUST OVER 15 YEARS OLD AND APPARENTLY IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE GENERAL AIR BAG RECALL AS IT IS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. WHY IS IT NOT COVERED? THE INFORMATION WE HAVE RECEIVED SAYS THAT HIGH TEMPERATURES (WE LIVE IN TUCSON, AZ) AND AGE ARE INDICATORS OF POSSIBLE FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL SRS LIGHT IS ON

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE "SRS" LIGHT HAS TURNED ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HONDA IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $360 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY AIR BAG/SEAT BELT RELATED. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON DURING MOTION AND WHILE THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE. MY VEHICLE IS AT 117,464 MILES. MY QUESTION IS IF HONDA HAS THE RIGHT TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE SOMETHING THAT IS RELATED TO SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

WHY MY CAR'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT RECALLED YET. I THINK IT CAME FROM TAKATA. HONDA RECALLED ONLY DRIVER SIDE.

DEALER SAID MY AIR BAG WAS SPICE TOGETHER AND CAN'T BE REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE WIRE SPICE. THE HONDA SEND THE RECALL AIR BAG IS UNDER THE RECALL. THE HONDA DEALER REPLACE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR ALREADY, I PAID FOR THE INFLATOR AT THE DEALER. WOULD THE SPICE WIRE DISQUALIFY MY CAR FROM REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG?

TAKATA RECALL. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN ON 5/18/2015 FOR THE RECALL ON THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG AT HONDA REDWOOD CITY, CA. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY ON 7/16/2016 WITH FRONTAL IMPACT GOING 35-50 MPH AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BASED ON THE SPEED AND LOCATION OF IMPACT I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR DAYS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE AIR BAGS RECALL. LEAVING MESSAGES WITH NO ABILITIES TO SPEAK WITH ANY ONE. NO ONE RETURNS MY CALL. CALLED CUSTOMER CARE OF HONDA WITH NO MUCH OF THE USE

MY DRIVER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER ON 11/05/2014 BUT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STILL COMES ON.

TRYING TO CHECK A 2002 HONDA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE TO SEE IF THE 2002 INFLATOR ON THE VIN # OF OURS HAS BEEN REPLACED. VIN # WAS HARD TO READ. NOW I'VE RECEIVED ON THIS SITE A NOTIFICATION THAT THE VIN# IS VALID. WHAT'S NEXT TO GET AN ANSWER RE: THE INFLATOR REPLACEMENT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS OR WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKADA INFLATORS. MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD 2 RECALLS ON THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR OR AIRBAG. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I EXPLAINED THAT THE LIGHT USED TO COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN IT WAS VERY HUMID OR HAD RAINED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF THAT, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA AND ASK IF THEY COULD REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS OR INFLATORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR/BAG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE SRS LIGHT STILL ON. RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. ONCE AGAIN I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT HONDA TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO SO AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE INJURIES AND DEATHS RELATED TO THE SRS/INFLATORS, WHY WOULDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS? I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO SO MYSELF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HE'D NOTE IN THE HISTORY THAT I "REFUSED TO FIX IT". I WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THE WAY THE DEALER IMPLIED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOTE THE HISTORY. SO, I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER BACK AND ASKED THEM TO NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF MY CAR THAT I INFORMED HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND THEY CHOSE TO NOT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS TO PUT HONDA ON NOTICE THAT I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM OF THE SRS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD "NO" TWICE! A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS MAKING A U-TURN, IT WAS STRUCK HEAD ON BY A TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY.

THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS, AND HEAD AND NECK INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TAKATA RECALL. AS LONG AS I'VE HAD THE CAR (I BOUGHT IT NEW) THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE HAD ALL RECALL WORK DONE. THE LIGHT PERSISTS IN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. EVERY TIME MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE I ASK THEM TO CHECK THIS MATTER TO SEE WHY THAT'S HAPPENING, AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND THE AIRBAGS AND THE LIGHT ARE FUNCTIONING AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. I NOTICE THAT THEY NEVER MAKE MENTION OF HAVING CHECKED THIS OUT ON THE SERVICE ORDER. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME, MOVING, STATIONARY, ANY TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING, ETC. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. I'M REALLY BECOMING CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR AND IF I WOULD HAVE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS REAR-ENDED--HARD--AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SHOULD IN A REAR-END COLLISION, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I COULDN'T GIVE A DATE AS PER YOUR FORMAT BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 2002 UNTIL THE PRESENT, 2015, SO THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IS TODAY'S DATE. I ALSO COULD NOT GIVE A MILEAGE BECAUSE THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM 0 MILES TO THE 47,000 MILES THE CAR NOW HAS ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL, IN 2010 WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, I WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE WERE HIT HEAD ON. THE DASH CAME OFF AND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SMALL ROCKET CAME OUT AND HIT ME IN THE CHEST BREAKING MY STERNUM BONE IN HALF, THEN THE AIR BAG OPENED. RECENTLY I SAW ON TELEVISION THE CANISTER FOR THE AIRBAG AND IT WAS THE SAME SIZE. I BELIEVE WHAT HIT ME, WAS FIRST, THE CANISTER BEFORE THE AIRBAG OPENED. POLICE WERE CALLED AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A HIGHWAY. WE ARE FROM OHIO AND WERE VISITING MY SON, USING HIS CAR ON DEC. 24TH, 2010. I WAS TAKEN TO YAVAPAI MEDICAL CENTER IN PRESCOTT VALLEY ARIZONA. THERE ARE HOSPITAL RECORDS, POLICE AND INSURANCE RECORDS. CAR WAS TOTALED.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL RECENTLY AND AS I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE RED LIGHT SRS APPEARED. IT STAYED ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING. IT DID THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND FINALLY IT JUST STAYED ON. SINCE I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT WAS THE SEATBELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM. LIGHT IS STILL ON NOW. THE ONLY SEATBELT THAT IS USED IS MINE AS I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF MY VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE LIGHT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE OUTCOME SO I WILL KNOW HOW TO PROCEED.

WAS GOING HOME AFTER A INTERVIEW AND GOT T-BONED. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. HAD TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE MY ARM HAD A HUGE KNOT ON IT AND LOOKED BROKE. DOCTOR SAID IT WASN'T BROKE BUT WAS BRUISED TO THE BONE. HAD TO TAKE THERAPHY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A THREE LANE ROAD ON THE MORNING OF 7-18-15. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE MIDDLE LANE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. TO AVOID HITTING THAT VEHICLE I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT LANE AND INTO THE BIKE LANE. I WENT UP THE CURB WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED ON, WHILE BRAKING, AND HIT A LIGHT POLE JUST BEHIND THE CURB. I HAD 'HELP' GOING UP THE CURB AS A FARMER (WHO FARMS THE PARCEL ADJACENT TO THE ACCIDENT SITE) HAD BUILT AN ILLEGAL 40 FT 'RAMP' UP THE CONCRETE CURB WITH ASPHALT TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR HIS FARM EQUIPMENT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE STAYED ON THE ROAD TRAVELING ALONG THE CURB (IN THE GUTTER). THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 50MPH PER THE COUNTY SHERIFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR CT SCAN OF THE HEAD AS I HIT THE WINDSHIELD. SUFFERED FROM TEMPORARY AMNESIA AND SLURRED SPEECH. WE WENT TO THE TOWN OFFICIALS AND REPORTED THE 'RAMP' AND IT WAS REMOVED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WE NEED HONDA TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS TOWED TO OUR HOME) BUT AFTER A WEEK OF LEAVING VOICE MAILS FOR THE CASE MANAGER WE ARE STILL WAITING A RETURN CALL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BUT WE WANT IT INSPECTED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTE: WE RECEIVED AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 7-27-15 (AFTER THE ACCIDENT) BUT I THINK THIS NOTICE IS FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS (NOT A DEPLOYMENT ISSUE).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHSTA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY TAKATA AIR BAG HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY HONDA RECALLS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IS ANOTHER TAKATA AIRBAG. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MY QUESTION IS: WHY IS HONDA REPLACING DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS? SINCE TAKATA IS CONTINUING TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE AIRBAG IN MY HONDA. SHOULDN'T HONDA USE ANOTHER AIRBAG MANUFACTURED BY ANOTHER COMPANY TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAG.

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING HONDA BECAUSE THEY LIED TO ME AND SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL BECAME PUBLIC I CALLED THEM TO ASK IF MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL. I WAS INSTANTLY TOLD IT WAS NOT. I JUST TODAY WENT TO THIS SITE ONLINE AND LOOKED IT UP AND FIND IT IS. I BELIEVE HONDA WAS INVOLVED IN A DELIBERATE COVER-UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN MARCH OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

CAN NOT GET HONDA TO REPLACE MY AIR BAG WHICH I GOT A FEDERAL RECALL NOTICE FOR. MADE AN APT WITH HOEHEN HONDA IN CARLSBAD CA . 4 WEEKS AGO. WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD TAKE ABOUT 1 TO 1 1/2 WEEKS TO ARRIVE. THEY NEVER CALLED ME TO BRING IN MY CAR. CALLED NAT'L HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE CA. THEY PROMISED ME A FREE RENTAL UNTIL THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. GAVE ME A COMPLAINT NUMBER.. CALLED AGAIN TO SPEAK TO REP. PHONE CALLS NOT RETURNED. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE AIR BAGS COULD CAUSE DEATH IF DEPLOYED.THEY ARE DERRELECT IN NOT PERFORMING SERVICE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

THE AIR BAGS ON MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD WERE RECALLED 6 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE THEY APPARENTLY COULD EXPLODE AND KILL PASSENGERS WITH SHRAPNEL IF THEY GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR HONDA TO REPLACE WITH AIR BAGS WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. CULVER CITY HONDA IN LOS ANGELES, CA KEEPS TELLING ME THEY AREN'T ABLE TO GET THE NEW PARTS SHIPPED IN BECAUSE OF THE PORT STRIKE IN LOS ANGELES. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO MAIL THINGS, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY AREN'T TRYING HARDER TO GET THE PART FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY'VE ALREADY HAD 6 MONTHS. 5 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DIED FROM THIS DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO URGENCY TO FIX THIS AT ALL. I DON'T WANT MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS FAULTY PART, BUT IT'S THE ONLY CAR WE OWN. WHO MAKES SURE THESE COMPANIES ACTUALLY FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RECALL REPLACEMENT? WE NEED SOME HELP PLEASE. *TR

HI ON 3/3/2015 I TOOK MY HONDA IN TO BREAKAWAY HONDA TO DO A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS ALSO HAD A FEW OTHER THINGS REPAIRED. MOSTLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS. HAD TO RETURN 5 DAYS LATER FOR A PART .I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPT REPRESENTATIVE WHY MY SRS LIGHT WAS STILL ON, HE SAID SOMETHING WAS STILL WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS AND IF I HAD A WRECK I STILL WOULD NOT HAVE AIRBAG. BUT I COULD PAY 89.95 TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO A MACHINE AND IF IT WAS THE SEAT BELT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY BUT IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD. DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME, SHOULD I PAY AGAIN TO HAVE AIRBAGS REPAIRED OR IS THAT SOMETHING HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. SOMETHING ELSE IS THEY NEVER GAVE ME A CALL ON THE SERVICE THEY HAD DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON Y WAY TO WORKED AT 40 WEST AROUND 9:30 AM ON 03/14/2015 SATURDAY MORNING, WHEN ONE OF THE CAR START SPINNING AHEAD OF ME, SO I MERGE TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE TO AVOID BUT IS TOO LATE HE STILL GOT ME...EVERYTHING IS ON PROCESS TRU OTHER PARTY INSURANCE...

THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V251000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE AN COMPLAINT IN REFERENCE TO THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL , AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON THE HONDA ACCORD. WE ARE BEING CHARGED TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS ISSUE,AFTER CLEARLY SEEING THAT THIS IS ANOTHER FLAW PRODUCED BY THE HONDA MOTORS COMPANY, IF YOU MAY LOOK INTO THE SRS LIGHT ISSUE ON THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD PLEASE. *TR

SRS INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON. HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE DATES OF REPAIR. NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK OR IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE IN SOME WAY, SINCE I COULD NOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING THE CAR BACK IN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO A CEMENT WALL.

THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS SINCE THE FAILURE HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I WAS INFORMED OVER A YEAR AGO MY CURRENT AUTO RECEIVED AN AIR BAG "FIX" TO THE AIR BAG ACTIVATOR DURING A NORMAL SERVICE CALL AND HAS NO LONGER ANY AIR BAG RECALLS. MY CAR YEAR AND MODEL IS LISTED INTO THE CURRENT TAKATA AIR BAG REPLACEMENT RECALLS, BUT HONDA REFUSES TO TELL ME IF MY CAR HAS THIS AIR BAG. THE ACTIVATOR FIX IS NOT WHAT THE TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE IS ABOUT! IT'S THE METAL FRAGMENTS HITTING THE DRIVER. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN WHAT HONDA HAS TOLD ME AND PREFER TO HAVE MY AUTO AIR BAG BE REPLACED, EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT IN A HIGH HUMIDITY ZONE, STATED IN THE CURRENT TAKATA RECALL. PHILADELPHIA HITS HIGH HUMIDITY (>90%) EVERY SUMMER, SO HOW/WHY WILL MY CAR IT KNOW IF IT IS IN FLORIDA OR PHILLY? PLEASE MOVE FORWARD TO HAVE ALL OF THE MODELS, YEARS, IN THE TAKATA MESS REPLACED, PERIOD! REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE VISITING A DEALER TO CATCH UP ON RECALLS, ITS COMPUTER AND WEBSITE BOTH SHOW THE 2001-2002 ACCORD DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL FROM 2011 AS FIXED; SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS AT A (ORIGINAL, DIFFERENT) DEALER WAS 5/10 THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD CUSTOMERS WHO DID NOT ATTEND TO THE RECALL ARE AUTOMATICALLY MARKED AS FIXED. FWIW I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 2007 AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER'S DIDN'T. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND PERSISTED AFTER RESET. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEATBELT. DEALER/HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING HOME IN THE FAR NORTH BOUND LANE GOING 40 MPH AND WAS HIT HEAD ON BY A DODGE DURANGO TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE. (2 LANES EACH WAY WITH A CENTER.) I WAS DRIVING AND THE AIRBAG EXPLODED AS THE DURANGO CUT OFF ANOTHER CAR AND HIT HEAD ONTO ME. THE AIRBAG EXPLOSION PRODUCED A BURNING SMELL WHICH I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BUT IT WAS THE AIRBAG EXPLOSION. MY FACE WAS VERY RED AND SWOLLEN AND JUST FELT ON FIRE FROM THE EXPLOSION WHICH COVERED MY FACE. I HAD A SCRATCH IN MY LEFT EYE AND NEEDED A RINSE AND A SMALL LACERATION ABOVE MY EYE. MY RIGHT HAND WAS SWOLLEN IMMEDIATELY AND WAS THROBBING FROM THE GRIP OF THE WHEEL AND THE AIRBAG EXPLOSION. MY RIGHT PINKY WAS TOTALLY NUMB FOR QUITE A WHILE WITH RADIATING PAIN UP THE RIGHT ARM. THE RIGHT HAD STILL HAS ISSUES WITH GRASPING THINGS AND DROPPING THEM. I HAD AND STILL HAVE HEADACHES FROM THE JOLT AND NECK INJURY ESPECIALLY IN THE FRONTAL AREA. I NOTICED MY SPEECH BECAME SLURRED AND THOUGHTS TOOK LONGER TO PROCESS WHEN SPEAKING TO PEOPLE. ON THE JOB THIS CREATED DIFFICULTY. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. *TR

SRS LIGHT IS ON, WHICH IS FOR AIRBAG. I SEARCHED THE RECALL IN HONDA OWNER'S WEBSITE AND FOUND THERE IS ONE (LETTER DATED SEPT 2014) WHICH IS FOR DRIVER AIRBAG FOR HUMIDITY AREA (WHICH INCLUDE CALIFORNIA). SO I CALLED DEALER ON 10/8/14 AND I WAS TOLD PART WILL BE ORDERED AND AVAILABLE IN A WEEK. I CALLED AFTER A WEEK AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS BACK ORDERED SO IT CANNOT BE ORDER PART UNTIL TWO WEEKS LATER. DEALER PROMISE AGAIN TO ORDER IT AFTER TWO WEEKS, AND I WILL CALL THEM AFTER NOV 6 IF I DON'T HEAR FROM THEM. *TR

SRS AND AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHTS APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST, NOW STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH HONDA FOR MANY YEARS AND IGNORED, MY CAR HAS MORE MILES AND AGE AND THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANCE DECLINE TO COVER WITH A WARRANTY OR SAFETY RECALL. THE HONDA DEALER WANTS MEGABUCKS TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE SENSORS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT NOW DEPLOY CORRECTLY OR AT ALL AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND LIABILITY FOR MY WIFE AND/OR CHILDREN/PASSENGERS FROM THIS DEFECT IN THE EVENT OF AN COLLISION. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX AND MAKE THEIR PRODUCT SAFE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. THANK YOU *TR

CAR WAS HEADED WEST IN THE LEFT LANE OF A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. A BIG SUV HEADED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WAS TURNING TO THE LEFT. HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GO AND STOPPED RIGHT IN MY LANE.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) HONDA HAS RECALLED MANY 2002 ACCORDS FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS. I HAVE A 2002 ACCORD. ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN. HONDA HAS TOLD ME MY VEHICLE, [XXX] IS NOT PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH FAILURE, AND IT WOULD COST $200+ TO FIX, EVEN THOUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT ALL SEAT BELT PROBLEMS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I REFUSED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND THEY SENT ME AWAY, INFORMING ME THAT THE SRS SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE ON THEIR ACCORDS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME. THANK YOU *TR

I PURCHASED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD COUPE BRAND NEW IN 2002. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT FINALLY REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY. I MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION. IN THE SPRING OF 2006 HONDA FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND SENT NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS. I WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY I HAD PAID FOR REPAIRS. GIVEN THE PROBLEMS THAT HAD BEEN REPORTED THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART FOR ALL OWNERS. UNFORTUNATELY, A MALFUNCTION OF THE SRS HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2006. AGAIN I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. AGAIN I SUBMITTED THE INFORMATION TO HONDA AND WAS REIMBURSED. FINALLY, IN 2009 ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SRS WAS DISCOVERED. I ASSUMED ALL WOULD BE AS BEFORE AND THAT I COULD SUBMIT A CLAIM AND BE REIMBURSED. HONDA DID PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM EVALUATED, BUT THIS TIME HONDA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND DENIED THE CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE BEEN IN TALKS WITH HONDA OVER THIS ISSUE SINCE FEBRUARY 2009. I HAVE APPEALED THEIR DENIAL AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS THIS PART WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING. NOW, A RECALL OF HONDAS INVOLVING THE SRS SYSTEM IS UNDER WAY, BUT AGAIN MY CLAIM IS BEING DENIED. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IN QUESTION IS NOT DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM IN THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA AND THEY SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. HONDA WAS LATE IN ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS MORE OF THEM TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR. I DO HOPE OTHER OWNERS HAVE COME FORWARD AS I AM TO MAKE HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TO REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THE EXPENSES THEY HAVE INCURRED FOR HONDA'S DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN HE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 50 MPH. HE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND NO OCCUPANT WAS PRESENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND REPAIRED; EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE HONDA MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE IMPACT WAS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH TO MERIT DEPLOYMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAD A FAILED SRS UNIT WHICH HONDA REPAIRED BUT ISSUED ME A BILL STATING IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. STATING A FAIL CODE OF 15-3 (OPDS SENSOR) THAT IS CLEARLY COVERED UNDER THE 06-009 HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN. IT COST ME $85 FOR THEM TO CLEAR THE CODE, STATING THAT THE CAUSE WAS ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE LIKE A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP. IT IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF AT ANYTIME I SHOULD USE AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE IN MY CAR THERE IS A CHANCE MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FIX THE ISSUE NOT COVER IT UP. *TR

MY EXPERIENCE VERY SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT #10311376. THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON THIS 2002 AMERICAN MFG. ACCORD WITH ONLY 23,336 MILES. I INQUIRED WHETHER THE "RECALL" OR EXTENDED WARRANTY APPLIED, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT DID NOT APPLY BECAUSE THE FAULTY PART WAS A SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT LATCH, NOT IN THE MODULE FOR THE OPDS. REPLACEMENT WILL COST ABOUT $200. A PART #04813-S84 - A33ZC, BUCKLE SET, WAS ORDERED. THE DISCONNECTED THE SENSOR SO THE LIGHT WON'T GLOW UNTIL THE SENSOR IS FIXED. THEY ALSO SAID THE AIR BAG WON'T DEPLOY IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. *TR

THIS BECAME A PROBLEM ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER DRIVING IT OFF OF THE USED CAR LOT APPROXIMATELY 04/2005. THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS NOT GENERAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE AS I'VE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO DAMAGE THE AIRBAGS. I"VE ATTEMPTED TO CALL HONDA REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT THEY MAINTAIN IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY TRIED TO DEEMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF AIRBAGS. MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THIS COULD COST AROUND 1500 DOLLARS. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON MY 2002 V6 HONDA ACCORD EX AND BASED ON DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO CLAIMS THAT IS IT A SEATBELT ISSUE THAT IS NOT COVERED... OTHER FORUMS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO THAT HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY AND WAS LINKED TO THE SRS LIGHT. THE SRS SYSTEM IS FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BUT DEALERSHIPS ARE ONLY ASKING FOR MONEY FOR GETTING THE CAR DIAGNOSED BUT STATING THAT THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG SYSTEM ARE NOT COVERED BY HONDA. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY SITUATION. MY WIFE AND CHILD RIDE IN THE VEHICLE DAILY. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD IS ON AND WON'T GO OFF. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDA ACCORDS.

THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX. MY BEST FRIEND HAS THE SAME CAR AND HIS IS ON ALSO AFTER 75K. APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM IS IN JUST EVERY ACCORD 98-02 AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IT CAN COST FROM 400 TO 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS CRAZY! THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE CLEARLY....IF EVERYONE I KNOW WITH AN ACCORD HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THEN ITS HONDAS PROBLEM NOT OURS. *TR

FIRST OF ALL, I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY IRONIC THAT I HAD JUST RECEIVED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON LIKE THE WARRANTY EXTENSION SAID, BUT YET MY PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION.

2002 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. *TS (LAWYER WROTE ON BEHALF OF CONSUMER) *JB

THE AIR BAGS IN THE CONSUMER'S 2002 HONDA ACCORD DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A SEVERE AUTO ACCIDENT. *TS *NM

THE YELLOW LIGHT FOR MY SIDE AIR BAGS STARTED COMING ON RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DRIVING. THE DEALER CHECKED IT, BUT IT DIDN'T COME ON WHEN IT WAS BEING TEST DRIVEN. NOW IT IS COMING ON CONSTANTLY AND FOR LONGER DURATIONS. THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF THE 3 YR WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD I'LL BE CHARGED FOR CHECKING IT OUT. THE DEALER SAID THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON WHEN THEY ARE CHECKING IT. SINCE THE YELLOW LIGHT COMES ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING, I CAN NOT REPLICATE IT AT WILL. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE SIDE AIR BAGS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

SRS LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR HAS ONLY 24000 MILES AND IT IS A 2002 ACCORD. I KNOW THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN THE SRS SYSTEM BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IN THIS GENERATION OF THE ACCORD WHICH IS THE 6TH GENERATION FROM 1998-2002. *AK

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS OFTEN COME ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW. I HAD CALLED DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS SITUATIONS. BUT THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT STAYING ON. I ASSUME WHENEVER THE LIGHT CAME ON PASSENGER WAS LEANING ON THE CHAIR IN A CERTAIN WAY, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. BESIDES THE ON AND OFF SITUATIONS WITH THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT, I WAS INVOLVED IN A DRIVER SIDE IMPACT. THE OTHER PARTY HIT ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE IMPACT COMPLETE WRECKED THE DOOR, BUT NONE OF SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OR NOTHING. I ASSUMED THAT THE IMPACT WAS NOT HARD ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE SIDE AIRBAG. ALSO, MANY FRIENDS WHO ALSO HAD HONDA ACCORDS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM . I HOPE SOME ONE COULD INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THE ACCIDENT OR MAYBE FROM FUTURE ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG.*AK

SRS LIGHT CAME ON 12/18/05 AND DOES NOT GO OFF. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, MY INTERIOR NEVER GOT WET, JUST HAPPENED. NOT VERY HAPPY AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I DO REALIZE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, BUT WILL NOT GET FIXED. *NM

SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME. *NM

I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY. WHILE I WAS LOOKING IN MY MIRROR, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I HIT HER WITHOUT EVER HITTING MY BRAKES. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND BOTH SEAT BELTS LOCKED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FAULTY AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT SO FAR, HONDA HAS NOT EXAMINED MY CAR OR THE AIRBAG TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. *NM

MY SRS LIGHT IN MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS COME ON TWICE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP GETTING FIXED. THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSES TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS MALFUNCTION IN THEIR CARS. *NM

DT: 2002 HONDA ACCORD SE. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH ON OCTOBER 18, 2005 AND SHE LOST CONSCIOUS. SHE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. UPON IMPACT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES. SHE WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CONTACTED DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS WEARING SEAT BELTS. HAD THE FRONT BUMPER REPLACED ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO. *AK

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

WHILE OPERATING MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD,, MY PASSENGER LEANED AGAINST THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT THE CAR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE REPAIR WAS TO HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT I HAD PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2001. OF COURSE IT WAS NOT COVERED. THE REPAIR WAS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM FOR WHICH I HAD NO CONTROL OVER NOR DID I DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE ''OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE DEVICE COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY HAD IT DEPLOYED ACCIDENTALLY OR FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $95.00 JUST TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND THEN TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST $852.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS 18 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SEAT NEVER GOT WET AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM WOULD RESULT IN THE AIR BAGS NOT WORKING IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.*JB

DT: THE SAFETY SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR THE AIR BAGS ( SRS SENSOR) FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER NEGLECTED TO TELL CONSUMER NEVER TO GET THE SEAT WET OR NEVER OPEN THE WINDOWS DURING RAIN. THE SENSOR IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHEN THE SEAT GOT WET/DAMP THE SYSTEM WAS NOT LONGER GOOD. IT GOT WET ONCE BEFORE AND HAD TO REPLACE IT BUT WAS NOT TOLD IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM IF IT GOT WET. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR IT UNLESS THE CONSUMER PAID FOR IT. THIS HAPPENED JULY 25, 2005.*AK

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON BY ITSELF, WHAT THIS DOES IS THAT IT SHUTS OFF THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHT SOMES ON, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HONDA WILL CHARGE FOR FIXING IT EVEN IF THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY

2002 HONDA ACCORD EX DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAME DAMP FROM A RAIN STORM. *MR THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. *SC

2002 HONDA ACCORD HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG.*MR *JB

DT: CONSUMER STATES HE WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION IN HIS VEHICLE, BUT NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. HE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH. *TT

THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES. TO FORCE THE LIGHT OFF, I PULL THE SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE AUTO. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE SEAT IS EMPTY. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE HONDA DELARSHIP AND THEY STATE THEIR DIAGNOSTICS SHOW NOTHING WRONG AND THAT I MUST HAVE THE LIGHT ON IN ORDER TO POSSIBLY FIND SOMETHING WRONG. OF COURSE THE LAST TIME IT CAME ON, I ENTERED THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER AND THE LIGHT WEHNT OUT.*AK

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT A CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. *AK

WHILE DRIVING SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED THE DASHBOARD. CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PIECE MISSING FROM THE SEAT. *AK

SRS INDICATOR STAYS ON FOR NO REASON. OWNER'S MANUAL INDICATES PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG OR SEATBELT TENSIONER. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT WARRANTY EXPIRED. NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WENT TO THE DEALER BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST 80 TO 100 DOLLARS JUST TO SEE WHAT WAS BROKEN OR DEFECTIVE, AND COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT PART(S) ARE DEFECTIVE. DON'T KNOW IF AIRBAG/SEATBELT WOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. STILL DRIVING WITH SRS INDICATOR ON. *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT FOR COLLISION. AFTER THE INSPECTION MANUFACTURE REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.*AK

SRS LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY ADVISED NO PROBLEM. RESET IT. LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY ADVISED AGAIN, NO PROBLEM. POSSIBLY THE CONTROL UNIT...RESET IT, BUT ADVISED LIGHT MAY COME ON AGAIN. THEY CANNOT BE SURE THAT UNIT IS THE PROBLEM, CAN REPAIR, BUT CANNOT BE SURE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. LIGHT IS NOW BACK ON. UNSURE IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR IF IT WILL JUST DEPLOY FOR NO REASON.*AK

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD WHICH HAS ITS SRS ARIBAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. HONDA INDICATED THE ONBOARD COMPUTER MAY BE DEFECTIVE, BUT SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE BATTERY FIRST BEFORE PROCEEDING. I SPENT $85 FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THEN $119 TO REPLACE A TWO YEAR OLD BATTERY AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON! HONDAY WANTS $800 FOR A NEW COMPUTER AND $400 FOR LABOR TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. A 2 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 44,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. SURFING THE IINTERNET INDICATES THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THESE TROUBLES. *AK

MY CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE REAR. SUSTAINED FRONT BUMPER, FENDERS, HOOD LOSS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NEITHER OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. HAVE VISITED WITH SEVERAL BODY SHOPS THAT ADVISE ME THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH HONDA.*AK

WHILE DRIVING MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON. WE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR BUT THE LIGHT STAYED ON. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE SRS LIGHT INDICATED I WAS CONCERNED. SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE OWNERS MANUAL THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO A TISSUE BOX BEING STUFFED UNDER THE SEAT, WHICH HAD CUT THE WIRING SYSTEM TO THE AIR BAG. THE MANUAL ADVISED THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS ON THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SRS SYSTEM (AIR BAG) AND TO HAVE A HONDA DEALER CHECK IT OUT. I TOOK IT INTO PASADENA HONDA AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THAT THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I HAD STUFF UNDER MY SEAT AND THAT I JAMMED A TISSUE BOX UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT THAT CUT THE WIRING SYSTEM TO THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. I ASKED HIM, "TO SHOW ME THE STUFF"!. WE WALKED OVER TO THE CAR AND ALL WE FOUND WAS A TISSUE BOX. MY ENTIRE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM WAS COMPROMISED BY A COMMON TISSUE BOX. I ADDED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE HAD THE AIR BAG A SYSTEM, ENCASED SO IT DOES NOT ACCIDENTALLY BECOME DISCONNECTED OR CUT. I ASKED, DOES THIS MEAN I DON'T HAVE AIRBAGS NOW. HIS ANSWER WAS THAT THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS DOWN BECAUSE OF THE DETACHED WIRING. I WAS SO UPSET AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE THAT WHEN I RETURNED HOME I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HONDA CORP. TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN. A HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE OPERATOR NOTED MY CONCERN AND SAID AN ADJUSTER WILL CALL IN 3-5 DAYS. ON WEDNESDAY AUGUST 11, 2004 A MR. ANTHONY HILL, WHO REPRESENTED HIMSELF TO BE THE WESTERN REGIONAL SUPERVISOR, CALLED TO SAY THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED BUT HE SAID, I JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS SHORT AND GET THIS OVER WITH. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT HONDA MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SECURE AND/OR ENCASE THE WIRING FOR THE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM, SO THAT THE CONSUMERS CANNOT ACCIDENTALLY DISCONNECT AND/OR CUT THEIR SAFETY SYSTEM. *AK *SC *JB

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT T-BONE COLLISION WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DRIVER'S CHEST HIT STEERING WHEEL, AND DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES TO CHEST, WHIPLASH, AND A MILD CONCUSSION. *AK

SRS LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES MEANING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM OR AIRBAGS. CAR IS WELL KEPT AND IN NEW CONDITION. REPAIRS FOR THIS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SRS. *JB

SRS LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF. INDICATES THAT A FAULT EXISTS IN THE AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURANCE. WITHIN THE FIRST 800 MILES OF OPERATION, THE LIGHT DID THE SAME THING. THE TECHNICIAN AT HONDA OF EL PASO IN EL PASO, TEXAS TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND INFORMED ME THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN, A PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES AND THE FAULT HAS REOCCURED. THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER OF THE REQUIRED PART IS NO LONGER PRODUCING THE PART.THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT JACK DIAMONDS HONDA IN TYLER, TEXAS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH HANDICAP EQUIPMENT FOR USE BY MY WIFE. I CONSIDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH A NONOPERATIONAL AIR BAG SYSTEM.*AK

THE SRS WARNING LITE IS CONTINUALLY LIT AT 49,000 MILES. AFTER THE OBDII SCANNER WAS CONNECTED THE SYSTEM REPORTED CODE 7-1. CODE 7.1 REFERS TO SRS CONTROLLER UNIT FAILURE. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEANED. THE RECOMENED REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROLLER UNIT AT A COST OF OVER 500 DOLLARS. THE SRS UNIT IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AS EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER ENGINE COMPUTERS ARE WARANTYED FOR 8/80,000 THE SRS UNIT IS NOT. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR I PURCHASED FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS OR AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT TENSIONERS. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE AND I MUST GO THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER TO REQUEST A WARANTY EXTENTION ON THE PART. RD MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.*AK

I AM THE OWNER OF A HONDA ACCORD 2002 ([XXX]). ON AUGUST 30, 2002 MY CAR WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR AT THE LEFT FRONT END OF MY CAR. IN THIS ACCIDENT MY CARS BOTH AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER OF MY CAR [XXX] WAS TAKEN TO THE OSF EMERGENCY HEALTH CENTER IN BLOOMINGTON FOR THE TREATMENT. A SECOND-DEGREE BURN ON MY WIFE'S RIGHT HAND WAS DIAGNOSED. FOR THE PAST FIVE WEEKS I HAVE TRIED HARD TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE OF THE SECOND DEGREE BURN IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT OR FLAME. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CO. TWICE OVER THE PHONE BUT BOTH TIMES THEY NEITHER ANSWER MY QUESTION NOR WAS I ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO ANY TECHNICAL PERSON FROM THE HONDA COMPANY. ALSO, I HAVE WRITTEN TWO LETTERS TO THEM BUT NO RESPONSE. I AM SPECULATING THAT THE SECOND DEGREE BURN IS CAUSED BY SOME CHEMICALS WHICH CAME OUT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG.
